Gift Guide: The Pen Type-A
The Pen Type-A is a pen milled from a block of type 304 stainless steel that should last at least 50 years. It looks and feels great, and it's a good writing tool as it uses Pilot's Hi-Tec C ink cartridges. The ruler acts as a sleeve. It is precisely manufactured so that the pen slowly slides in and out, like a pneumatic cylinder. It's a pen for pen geeks.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/fgvQmla6iGI/

Hannover player honestly owns up to 1-match ban
Associated Press Sports
updated 2:51 p.m. ET Nov. 26, 2012
HANNOVER, Germany (AP) -A Hannover player is proving that there's still fair play in football.
Midfielder Lars Stindl has been suspended for a Bundesliga match after pointing out he should be banned for getting five yellow cards this season.
The 24-year-old Stindl kept count better than German football authorities who failed to register an earlier booking.
When Stindl was cautioned Saturday in a 5-0 loss against leader Bayern Munich, he told his club it should trigger a one-match ban.
Stindl says he wasn't tempted to exploit the official error, asking: "Why should we hide something?"
Hannover published the story on its website with the message: "Hats off, Lars!"
Coach Mirko Slomka praises Stindl as "an extremely fair sportsman" - who will watch the home match against struggling Greuther Fuerth from the sidelines.

Pets as gifts? Experts say consider the responsibility first ...
Posted on: 9:52 pm, November 24, 2012, by Brittany Green-Miner, updated on: 10:59pm, November 24, 2012
SALT LAKE CITY ? While having a cute puppy or kitten jump out of the box on Christmas morning, experts say giving pets as gifts isn?t a good idea.
If a family has considered the responsibilities of getting a pet, there?s nothing wrong with surprising the kids on Christmas, but giving animal gifts to another family is a big no-no.
?We strongly discourage people from ever surprising another adult or another family with the gift of a pet,? said Temma Martin.
Tens of thousands of pets wind up at animal shelters in the U.S. every year. Martin says that a lot of animals acquired around the holiday are sent to a shelter by the end of the next year.
?A lot of animals that are acquired around the holiday time probably make it through the summer, and by the beginning of the school year the family might be over them,? Martin said.
Animal advocates say that pets require a lot of responsibility and that the owner will be making a lifelong commitment to the animal, and some pets will live for a long time.
?Know not only what the animal looks like when it?s a puppy and cute, but how big it?s going to get, how long its hair is going to be, what kind of energy level it has, if it tends to get along with other dogs. Just really know what you?re getting when you choose a pet,? said Martin.

Italy center-left picks candidate for next prime minister
ROME (Reuters) - Italian center-left voters head to the polls on Sunday to choose the candidate who will be the leading contender to succeed Mario Monti as prime minister after a general election in March.
Opinion surveys show Democratic Party leader Pier Luigi Bersani is front-runner among five candidates, followed by youthful Florence mayor Matteo Renzi, who has vowed to shake up Italy's political establishment if he is chosen.
Voting booths will be open from 08:00 to 20:00 local time (07:00 GMT to 19:00 GMT) with results due around midnight (23:00 GMT). About 3 million party and non-party voters are expected to take part.
Bersani may fail to secure the 50 percent he needs for a first-round victory, which will mean a second round run-off will be held on December 2 to decide who will lead an alliance that is well ahead in opinion polls for the next election.
In a second round Bersani is likely to pick up the votes of third-placed left-winger Nichi Vendola, the openly gay governor of the southern Puglia region.
The party vote will eliminate a major element of uncertainty in Italian politics ahead of the national poll to choose a successor to Monti's technocrat government.
While the slick and dynamic Renzi, 37, is much more popular across the general population, canny career politician Bersani, 61, is favored by party supporters who will decide the primary.
Both men reject the idea encouraged by international markets that the respected and sober Monti should return after the vote to continue his economic policies that have so far included unpopular spending cuts, tax rises and labor reform.
Protests on Saturday by tens of thousands of students and workers from across the political spectrum highlighted the levels of discontent among Italians grappling with recession and rising unemployment in the euro zone's third biggest economy.
With Silvio Berlusconi's center-right People of Freedom (PDL) party slumping in opinion polls to less than half its support in the last election in 2008, the center-left has a clear field to win the general election.
However there are still several elements of uncertainty presented by the dramatic rise of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement, which is now second in polls for the next election, and the around 50 percent of Italians who say they are either undecided or will abstain.
The center-right is due to hold its own primaries on Dec 16, but PDL secretary Angelino Alfano said on Saturday that may no longer make sense after Berlusconi told reporters he was again thinking about running, deepening chaos in his party.
It is also still unclear what electoral system will be used for the national vote now expected on March 10-11, as politicians have been arguing for months over how to reform an unpopular electoral law that allows party leaders to hand-pick members of parliament.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) ? Rory McIlroy sank a short birdie putt on the 18th hole Saturday to remain tied with Luke Donald as the world's two top-ranked golfers pulled three shots clear of a star-studded field after the third round of the Dubai World Championship.
The top-ranked McIlroy, who has already wrapped up the European and PGA Tour money titles, struggled early when he bogeyed the first hole and missed several makeable birdie putts. But he improved on the back nine, sinking a 30-foot eagle putt on 14 to go with three birdies for a 6-under 66.
Donald also had a 66 and is tied with McIlory with a 17-under total of 199.
"I've done a majority of my scoring this week on the back nine and that's the way it went today," McIlroy said. "Took me a few holes to adjust. But once I got comfortable, I started to hit some good shots and give myself opportunities for birdies."
Donald had his third consecutive bogey-free round and has now gone 100 holes at the Dubai tournament without one. If he wins Sunday without carding a bogey, he will match the feat of Sweden's Jesper Parnevik, who won the 1995 Scandinavian Masters without dropping a shot.
"I was, again, just trying to play solid golf, minimize mistakes," said Donald, who won in Japan last week to overtake Tiger Woods for the No. 2 spot in the rankings. "I guess it's a testament to how I play the game. I kind of keep the ball in front of me and, when I get in trouble, I've got a good short game to bail myself out."
South Africans Louis Oosthuizen (68) and Charl Schwartzel (67) are three shots back, while compatriot Branden Grace and Joostis Luiten of France are a further two shots behind. Seven others are six shots off the pace, including Scotsman Marc Warren, who started the day tied with McIlroy and Donald but had three bogeys on his first 12 holes to fall out of contention.
The round of the day, however, went to Jeev Milkha Singh. Still recovering from a hand injury and worried about his mother, who was hospitalized after a fall, the Indian golfer shot a 64 to match the course record and move into a tie for 25th. He strung together three consecutive birdies on the front nine and four straight after the turn in a round that included a total of nine birdies to go with a lone bogey on the 10th.
"I dedicate this round to my mother," Singh said. "She was in the ICU yesterday. I learned about it just before I teed off."
Though McIlroy and Donald didn't play together, it seemed the world's top golfers were having a duel of sorts all day.
Donald struck first, sinking two birdie putts on the first three holes, while McIlroy hit his opening drive into a bunker and settled for a bogey. McIlroy pulled a shot back with a birdie on No. 3 and then sank a 25-foot birdie putt on the sixth hole before Donald sank birdies on 7 and 9 to extend his lead.
But just when it seemed Donald might pull away, McIlroy made consecutive birdies on the 11th and 12th. With Donald extending his lead by two with a 20-foot birdie putt on No. 14, McIlroy needed something special to keep pace.
On the par-5 14th, McIlroy hit what he called a "great drive" followed by a 4-iron that landed in the middle of the green. He curled the 30-foot putt to draw even with Donald.
"I was just trying to hit it on the green somewhere and give myself at least a chance for eagle and probably a two-putt birdie," McIlroy said. "But I got up there and it was 25, 30 feet away and I guess it was a downhill putt that I was just trying to get close. It was on a good line and it was a good speed and it was a bonus that it went in. Obviously, it got me tied, which was nice."
Donald and McIlroy were not alone at the top all day. Oosthuizen, the 2010 British Open champion, made a run midway through his round with four birdies over five holes before cooling off and three-putting for par on the 18th.
Oosthuizen's playing partner, 2011 Masters champion Schwartzel, also started strong with two birdies on the first three holes and had the shot of the day when his second on the par-5 7th almost went in. But then he fell back with a bogey on 8 and 10 and missed a birdie putt on 18.
"Nearly albatross there, wasn't it?" Schwartzel said. "If there was ever going to be a flag that you've got a good chance to eagle, it was going to be the 7th today. Great tee shot, hit a 4-iron in there and caught that bowl and came funneling down. From where I could see it, it must have been really close to going in."
Donald and McIlroy both birdied the 18th to set up a season-ending duel between No. 1 and No. 2 ? something not seen since last year when Donald won the BMW PGA Championship in a playoff with Lee Westwood to replace him at the top.
Though the Northern Irishman has the top ranking locked up, a victory on Sunday would affirm his claim as the world's best golfer heading into 2013.
"It's very important no matter what happens tomorrow," McIlroy said. "I guess I'm No. 1 going into next year. But it will be nice to put an exclamation mark on, if you want."
For Donald, a victory would serve as a revenge of sorts. McIlroy took the No. 1 ranking from him earlier this year and then went out and matched the Englishman's feat of winning both tour money titles in 2011. The two haven't played in a final round together since 2007 and that was when Donald was ranked 17th and McIlroy 233rd.
"In terms of my own confidence, it would be a great way to finish off the year," Donald said. "Any time you're playing against the best player in the world, if you can go head-to-head and come out on top, yeah you're going to come away feeling good about things."

Maximizing Cardio & Resistance Training for Caloric Expenditure | i ...
Aerobic and resistance training workouts increase your body?s need for oxygen in the post-exercise period. This factor?called EPOC or excess post-exercise oxygen consumption? elevates metabolism and plays a major role in exercise-related weight loss. Type of exercise, duration and workout intensity influence EPOC.
?
Resistance Training
EPOC increases with weight-lifting intensity, reports KL Osterberh, lead author of a March 2000 article in the ?International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism.? Seven women were told to perform five sets of 10 different exercises. The research team paired the exercises according to opposing muscle groups, and told the subjects to perform 10 to 15 repetitions per set, and to perform the last two sets of each exercise to failure. Exercise pairs consisted of leg extension and hamstring curl; chest press and bent-over row; military press and sit-ups; biceps curl and triceps extension; and lunges and lateral raises. The team measured the subject?s resting metabolic rate every 30 minutes, and reported a 13 percent increase in their before-exercise. Sixteen hours after the workout, their resting metabolic rate was still 4.2 percent higher than their before-exercise rate.
?
Aerobic Exercise
The results of a February 2008 study published in the ?International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism? indicate that subjects who perform aerobic exercise for 30 to 45 minutes on three to five days a week at moderate intensities potentially elevate their resting metabolic rate. After 16 months, the women in the study increased their resting metabolic rate by 129 calories a day, and then the men increased theirs by 174 calories a day.
?
ACSM Guidelines
The American College of Sports Medicine advises 150 minutes of aerobic exercise each week, combined with two or three weekly strength-training sessions. Significant weight loss requires over 250 minutes a week of cardiovascular exercise. Work all of your major muscle groups, and perform two to four sets of each exercise. Numerous factors influence the design of your program, including your overall health and fitness, existing injuries and your doctors suggestions.
?
Most Effective Exercises
The more of your major muscle groups engaged in your exercise program, the higher your caloric expenditure.? Aerobic exercise such as running, jumping rope, cross-country skiing and martial arts burn the most calories, for example. Likewise, exercises that work more than one muscle group, called compound weight-training exercises, also increase caloric expenditure. Examples include squats, lunges, the bench press and the lat pull-down machine.
?
Which Comes First
Researchers have not yet determined the ideal sequencing of aerobic and resistance training exercise, says Mayo Clinic physical medicine specialist Edward Laskowski M.D. Intense weightlifting might deplete the glycogen stores and reduce your aerobic endurance, but a vigorous aerobic workout might make you too tired to perform your weight training workout in proper form.
?
Program Design
If you?re trying to lose weight, aim for a daily aerobic session of at least 30 minutes, along with three weekly resistance training sessions on alternate days of the week. To protect your joints and preserve your energy, choose a low impact form or aerobic exercise on the days that you perform resistance training. Exercise novices, who have not yet built up aerobic and muscular endurance, will benefit from circuit training, which intersperses 10 to 15 strength training exercises with one to three minute aerobic sessions.
